Herein we report a rapid, self-templating, and nonthermal method based on ultraviolet light to prepare metal oxide hierarchical structures. With this method, the morphology of the metal oxides was controlled readily without using templates.enMorphologyElectromagnetic radiationMaterialsIrradiationMicrospheresArticle
